Thursday, April 24, 2008 12:30:19 AMSorry had to do some work and had to leave, but I wanted to mention:

It's the "bombing" part of suicide bombing that's bad. The suicide is fairly neutral. It's the killing other people.

What do you think of the following question: "Do you think bombing somewhere can ever be justified, at least in some circumstances?"

How many Americans do you think would say yes?I'm betting more than 26%.

If the census asked that, I don't see why not.

Against civilians: No.It didn't ask that.It just asked if it could hypothetically be justified, and quite frankly, in a war, without other options, against military targets, when you are on the defensive, I don't see why not.

It's justifiable under the same circumstances any kind of bombing is justifiable.

Oh, and I found the question they asked: The 25% answered it was acceptable "at least in some circumstances".

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 10:03:24 PM"Obviously, the 2007 poll of American Muslims with 26% justifying suicide bombings is a blatant Neo-con/Southern/Republican/Christian lie!"

I didn't say it was a lie. I'm just saying my sample source is likely to be 500 times bigger than yours, not limited to the USA, has sample questions I've seen (and are straightforward), and for fun, compares those figures with non-Muslims.

For the two people who brought up Hussein:1) My middle name is effectively Moses.

2) Naming conventions in certain parts of Africa are based on your ancestors. So if your great grandfather named his kid Hussein, that name would stick with your great-grandkid. Even if Hussein was an Atheist, and his son Barack, and His son Barack Junior.

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 6:30:38 PMOH NO a president that doesn't believe in el Jeezy Creezy!? That'd be terrible. Imagine, a man/woman that has beliefs of their own. That's simply wrong. Them bastard non-Christians are ruining this nation.

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 5:55:06 PM"It's simply to cause people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not believe in Jesus Christ," he said.

Seriously, WTF. (Crazy Christians, gotta love 'em, though...) It has ALREADY BEEN DEBUNKED THAT OBAMA IS F'ING MUSLIM. That was a stupid rumor and needs to be stopped. So what the HELL does religion have to do with it?

Hm... South Carolina. I believe that is in the... SOUTH. Racist b'tard? Probably, but I'm not making any definite accusations. -wink-

(Sorry if I sound overly bitchy, it's just that the damned internet rumors are accepted as truth automatically. F'ing sucks).

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 5:42:12 PMBy the way sandrockk, I don't think the name your parents gave you denotes your religon, it might possibly let you know something about the area you parents came from possibly. Just think about all the people who are christian and american yet have an arabic name that translates to something else. Not to mention the fact that even if you were brought up with a certain religon you are able to choose a different religon yourself

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 5:38:23 PMBaalthazaq- I didn't mean to offend, I was trying to suggest a tiny number, as I was trying to suggest a tiny number of christians are as narrow minded as this man seems to be.

I was trying stick up for the majority of muslims and christians who are not represented by this story.
